Often when I bake pies I think of my mom and dad. Both baked pies and they were always delicious. My mom's apple, cherry, and pumpkin are ones I remember as being favorites. My dad made the best pecan pie I have ever tasted as well as a banana cream that I wish I had the recipe for.

So today as I was baking pies I pictured my mom or dad in the kitchen making their pie crusts. My parents each had their favorite crust recipe. I have my favorite too and it is different than both of theirs. I am thankful for all they taught me about making a good pie crust...the preparation, the rolling out of the dough, and placing it in a pie plate. I loved the memories I had today as I baked pies.
